Abstract excerpt
Hydrogen peroxide-resistant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells displayed cross-resistance to CdCl2, HgCl2 and NaAsO2 but not to Na2Cr2O7, ZnCl2, NiCl2 and CuSO4. Resistance to hydrogen peroxide and to the metals was partially retained by these cells for many generations despite growth in drug-free medium. The loss of resistance was a slow process, and was different for the various metal compounds. Cell variants...
